Bungie needs to clarify if this isn't hitting on release date.

It's in the press release
After the bullshit pulled with Nier where nobody acknowledged its existence for the longest time it's not hard to imagine the same thing might be happening with PC.

I'm sure I read it somewhere, I could be wrong about it. I hope I'm wrong about it.
edit: nvm, I wasn't wrong

If Destiny 2 lands on PC at the end of September rather than the beginning, I'm totally fine with it, and I'd even applaud Bungie for putting in the time to provide a proper release.
If Destiny 2 releases months after the console versions, though, it'll take a huge sales hit. You've got to release the game while people are still excited about it.

Heavily rumored but, I don't think Destiny 1 was ever confirmed for PC.
Not really. PC releases don't just see week delays normally. Its more in the months department.

The length of the delay is critical. I'm not opposed to a small delay as much as that pisses me off if it means the final product is somewhat better, but if you're telling me it's going to be November before I play Destiny 2 on PC? Lol no
Play with me on PS4.

It's pretty shitty given that they said September 8th at the last reveal and never indicated that didn't include PC. They have clearly let everyone including retailers believe it released September 8 on all platforms.

Nope. It's all about the loot grind really. I think the personality in Destiny comes in the three classes and how each player uses their class / super ability. You can have 3 players all running a Warlock, but if each uses a different subclass they will each play differently and have their strengths / weaknesses for the activities. Case in point: running raids could either be incredibly easy or difficult based solely on players class / abilities choices.
Also, there's a lot of personality in the gear itself. Particularly in the exotics. The majority of them have very distinct looks, abilities and handling.
And to clarify: I played a ton of D1 and the loot grind became, well, a grind. I'm hoping D2 provides more of the activities promised with today's reveal. I never cared about having perfect roll shotguns or whatever. Just let me have fun and get cool stuff. Borderlands did a terrific job of that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony is involved somehow. They need something to push their console this fall.

Destiny 2 wont be affected one bit by a late PC release though.
The install base from both PS4 and Xbox One has near trippled since 2013 and its the main source of sales from Destiny overall.
Destiny 1 sold 20 million copies without a PC version.
Well yeah but they never specifically said it wouldn't either..
We have no idea and like I said, I'm sure we'll know before we get close to release anyway.
Are you really not able to parse that he means the sales of the PC version?
Yes but it still will be strong community.It is half blizzard game now.

End game is still the same tho?. Even if the PC version doesnt meet sales expectations, Bungie wont be phased after a 20 million selling first installment.

I thought Blizzard was ditching the battle.net name?

Jesus 4 months of speculations? I can't handle it

No xbox cross play? they should have cross play with everything. How hard is it to have a save file online?
When you pony up Marketing money? You get some sway. I don't know if its this much sway, but you get some sway.

i wonder if it has anything to do with battlenet integration
Rumours just said PS4-PC, don't see why Xbox couldn't support it too though.
Edit: here's what the guy who correctly leaked the new sub-classes, weapon loadout system, 4v4 PvP and more said about it.
Very. Ask Nintendo.

I wouldn't mind a release on the following Tuesday. It'd only be a four day difference on the 12th. Launching across three platforms as big as they are would be hellish.

It sounds more like a "we're not sure if it can make September 8th, so we aren't committing" situation as opposed to "it's definitely not making September 8th and is much further off".

You mean the same activision game that has 1 year + Sony exclusive content?
I don't think Scorpio will be out September 8 either. If that releases November, Sony gets 2 months at launch to say they'r the definitive version of the game. That's pretty powerful.

I wish they were just honest and said exactly that. There's no harm in it.
Nah I don't think so. The PC version is not being developed in-house right? If they're being non-commital about the release date on PC it's somewhat normal. They won't really know if they can hit that date until the game is gold and locked on console, and then a lot of last minute optimization and platform specific polishing happens for PC. Same thing happened for MGSV where they expected a delay and then pushed the date up, or for Nier who's date came in super super last minute.
